Corrosion may be understood as the deterioration or degradation of a material upon exposure to a given environment or elements within the environment, such as water or oxygen. A common example of corrosion is the formation of rust due to the oxidation of iron. Corrosion may negatively affect desirable properties in the material, such as causing discoloration or weakening the material. To prevent corrosion, various treatments may be utilized, including passivation, anodization and/or surface treatments, including reactive and applied coatings. These various treatment methods and the individual coating compositional characteristics may aid in forming a barrier layer between the substrate and the environment, reducing and/or preventing corrosion.
